One Good Word 

The wall text of WAM's spring exhibition, Never Spoken Again, contains unconventional blank spaces, encouraging museum visitors to “fill in” the exhibition narrative using their imaginations. By omitting key words from the dubious stories behind works on view, curator David Ayala-Alfonso engages viewers’ imaginations to complete the exhibition’s backstory.

Trees have long been a powerful symbol in art, representing life, strength, growth, and the cyclical nature of existence. From ancient spiritual connections to modern environmental concerns, artists have depicted trees as living metaphors for human experiences. Whether through the lush landscapes of Romanticism, the symbolism in religious iconography, or contemporary environmental art, trees continue to reflect our relationship with the natural world. In their many forms, they offer a visual language for themes of connection, resilience, and transformation.
